On her
childhood acting: “Being on
set was like the first feeling I really belonged somewhere.I was never into the young actor crew thing, like I was never one of
those cool people”.

On her attitude towards
fashion:“Since I
was little, I’ve always been into it [fashion] but I never really knew how to
wear it. It kind
of took me 10 years of being an adult before I figured out how to put things
together in a way that made me feel like the clothes aren’t wearing me, you
know?”

On her lack of confidence:“I used
to be really shy and embarrassed, and I was a tomboy. Now I don’t care what people think and I just like to wear what I
like, so it’s just a different mentality.”

On Louis Vuitton:“It’s so cool and young. I really like this resort collection. I’m a huge fan of the overallbrand and I love Marc Jacobs overseeing as
creative director”

On the impact of motherhood on her life : “It’s changed everything.
Things that used to seem really important aren’t important at all, like
people’s opinions. I used to be a super-big people pleaser, always trying to
get approval from everyone and wanting to make everyone happy, and I just don’t
care about that anymore. After I had my kid and I took time off, I just didn’t
care. Now I’m
just doing what makes me happy regardless of anything.“

On feeling mortal after giving birth:“I felt
mortal instantIy.I used to
be a bit of a daredevil and now I’m not even close to it; it’s just not worth
it. I couldn’t even imagine not being 100 per cent there for my daughter. Any
risk of anything happening, I won’t do it. I don’t need to ride motorcycles.”

On self critique: “I’m super-critical about myself when I’m looking at myself. Actually, I used to be a lot more critical of myself before I hadmy
daughter, but now I just don’t really care that much. It just doesn’t matter.”

On family life: “We usually like to just do nothing because we both do so much in
work,” she says. “It’s the best when we can just chill out and be with each
other.”

On shooting “Little
Fockers”:“It was super-fun. I was
just so excited to be part of the franchise and also to be able to be funny,
because I love doing comedy.”
